Hi all sifus,

I'm a research student who is trying to venture into testing my treatment in tilapia model. Does anyone know the best farm where can I purchase tilapia fingerlings (~3 inches) for about 200 in quantity? And also, what's the expected/estimated selling price?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I would definitely appreciate any help/insight.

Thanks. =)

HI all, I am looking to explore an opportunity of exporting artemia to Australia however I have no experience in this industry at all as I am in the banking industry, based in Australia.

Source orginates from Vietnam/ China with the cold storage based in Malaysia.

I am looking for someone who has experience in this industry or have done something similar before to explore this further.

Please drop me a PM and we can go from there.

wow... good business in Australia eh... all the best!!

Thank you so much! 😀

I did not know your area, I expect from KV. Hope this helps

Hi guys, I am into agriculture as well. Do you have wassup group or anything?

hi guys, i'm a student, and i'm sitting on a 5 acres of land in lanchang, pahang that my mum had no use for. she gave me permission to do away with it, and i thought why not farming / fishing right?

thing is, i have no idea where to start. i was thinking on going to local seminar and workshop by the agriculture ministry just so that i can get a gist of what i can and should do with the land in the future. but any more input / ideas / direction would be much appreciated. thanks

first thing first - do you have people to run it?

fish farming is good idea. What fish you want to get?

maybe can start by joining agriculture/kebun FB group and ask question there. the land you have quite big. maybe can have a combination of farm/fishing/etc.

If u know nothing, u get the right move joining workshop from ministry. Im highlighting Ministry because they are the one teach real thing. Fishery is better but much more complex and capital involved. I suggest u start from small step before leap ahead. Many cheater in this industry, i met a few but ignored. We got scam case from LYN too.

Assume u get the training done, 5 acres u need minimum cash 60-80k for land preparation, basic irrigation equipment, fertilisers and basic equipments. Worker excluded; are u full time taking care of it? Pls always rmb, workers are not dependable unless u lucky enough to get a good one.

After knowledge, capital prepared, what u want to plant? Short, medium, long term crop? For size of land u having, palm oil is not recommended because too small to get enough return. Durian, no, unless u do this agri on part time basis apart from fixed salary.

yea, I agree with this. Really important. +1000. My agro startup failed because of this.

Just sharing my small experience but i've been there hands on. Dont worry bro, if got money still can try again but dont 100% gamble on it.

You better off rent the land and get steady income from the rental.

1) you are student and you are not full time farmer.

2) you know nothing yet, 0 experience

3) even in agriculture, the chance of failure is highs

4) you need cash to start.

Is the land cleared of any big trees?

Water source?
Electricity?
Any monkey around?


For short term, try maize or.cucumber.
That is the lowest initial cost I can think.

Guys, I am a EE engineer by profession I am thinking to venture into Agri and mix up my skill to provide some automation to this field? Does anyone have thoughts and suggestion on how do I to start with?

What happened to the newsletters - are you still farming?

Hi. Agri field is broad and basically divided into vegetation, fisheries, others ie palm oil ect.

You can specify which subsection u wish to venture into and make a start from there.

Cheers

May i know if Matag only suitable planted in flat land? Have anyone do it at slope hill land?

Is Red tilapia and Patin viable for aquaculture commercially now a days? Is there an estimated price?

Also if I want to make my own feed for the above species, can anyone provide a good recipe of the above two types of fish??. TIA.
